INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT MODELS FOR ACID-RAIN

This pager reviews 20 acid rain models, with special emphasis on integ rated assessment models. Most integrated assessment models for acid ra in are developed as tools to assist policy makers in evaluating differ ent abatement options. Such models therefore typically deal with the p roblem from causes to environmental effects. In this overview, we only include models that at least cover three of the following five compon ents: (i) sources of emissions, (ii) atmospheric transport and transfo rmations, (iii) environmental effects, (iv) abatement and mitigation o ptions and (v) monetary evaluation.
